Probably no big surprise here, but according to Superdata Research in May, Blizzard and Riot Games are still kings of the online PC gaming charts.
Overwatch was the MVP of May, raking in $269 million during the month and absolutely smashing rival Battleborn’s ($18 million) face into the dirt. League of Legends remained on top of the free-to-play list, while World of Warcraft, Lineage, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and TERA enjoyed rankings on the subscription side of the equation.
The report noted that “online multiplayer gaming [is] now a key element in console strategy,” with consoles offering more online titles and increasing revenue from those games. On the flipside, it pointed out that PC subscriptions dipped sharply in May, falling under $200 million.
